The application of thermal pretreatments to facilitate its anaerobic digestion has associated phenols and furans production, which are commonly identified as inhibitory compounds. Phenols extraction can be done from a liquid phase produced after the pretreatment. In present study this dephenolized (DLP) showed an increase 42% in methane yield compared raw (LP) demonstrating inhibitor character ...

The resul ts of previous studies showed a possibili ty of application of zero-crossing rates as parameters for speech and speaker recognition The paper presents a method for obtaining these parameters and the resul ts of experiments carried out in order to estimate the absolute and relative discriminating power of zero-crossing parameters in speech and speaker recogni tion. As a basic test mate...

A finite-element procedure is developed to analyze plane ductile fracture problems in the presence of largescale yielding near the crack tip. Strain and stress singularities near the crack tip, corresponding to the strainhardening material model, are embedded in elements near the crack tip. The developed elastic-plastic incremental finite-element method is based on a hybrid displacement model. ...

Let Y → M be a fibred manifold with m-dimensional base and n-dimensional fibres. If m > 2 and n > 3, we classify all linear connections A(Γ,Λ,Θ) : T Y → J(T Y → Y ) in T Y → Y (i.e., classical linear connections on Y ) depending canonically on a system (Γ,Λ,Θ) consisting of a general connection Γ : Y → JY in Y → M , a torsion free classical linear connection Λ : T M → J(T M → M) on M and a line...

This paper presents a multiparameter tissue characterization system based on the features obtained from the Weld decomposition algorithm when applied on red breast images. The Weld decomposition features quantify parameters of the tissue structure. This model ww applied to a large database of real ultrasound images of the breast. The features obtained were used to classify tissue pathology. To ...

Abs t rac t : It has been claimed that product ion systems have severa l advantages over other representat ional schemes. These include the potent ial for general self-augmentat ion (i.e., learn ing of new behavior) and the abil i ty to funct ion in complex env i ronments. The product ion system language, OPS, was implemented to test these claims. In this paper we exp lo re some of the issues t...

yeast retrotransposons, or Ty, elements avert catastrophic insertion events. All of these Ty elements are of the LTRtype. There appear to be at least three distinct types of strategies they use to dodge host genes; these have been studied in the Ty1, Ty3, and Ty5 elements Jef D. Boeke and Scott E.
